You'll get an easy 20 RWHP with CAI; I'd consider that too
Also, know that different dynos' will give different numbers. What tranny do you have? What dyno' was it on? What was the baseline? It seems like most people are getting almost 500 RWHP on a stock LS3 and something like 20-40 RWHP less for L99 cars.
As far as for why so conservative, I'm no employee, nor will I speak for anyone, but I'm sure those canned tunes are there to run safely on our sh*tty Cali' 91 gas. In many other places, one can get 93 at the pump, but not our glorious state. Having said that, they also offer an extra cost warranty so that tune will make sure you're going to have years of trouble-free tire-burning. I'm sure you can get more aggressive fuel and spark tables with a good dyno' tuner and eek even more power out of that car.
JMHO.
